I reckon that boils down to "someone at Anthropic likes using Bun". When you're burning billions, acquiring a firm burning millions is petty cash, so why not? Provides stability and control for Anthropic.
Whether it's a positive for anyone else is a very different calculation. Is Anthropic a genuinely stable, safe bet? Not really, their burn rate just has more zeroes.
Attorney General Bonta Volunteers with AmeriCorps Members in Sacramento, Highlights Programs Protected through Litigation Against the Trump Administra... https://oag.ca.gov/news/press-releases/attorney-general-bonta-volunteers-americorps-members-sacramento-highlights
@heidilifeldman this AmeriCorps program is truly meaningful because it brings people together to serve their communities with compassion and purpose. Seeing Attorney General Bonta volunteer alongside AmeriCorps members shows real leadership not just talking about helping, but doing it. Protecting these programs through litigation was important, because communities rely on them for education support, food assistance, and rebuilding lives..good you brought up the news here , ...how are you
Hello, new #FediMeteo friends!
As the great @FediFollows@social.growyourown.services posted about this service, many of you started following me and the cities. And I'm so glad about it!
If you want to know something more about FediMeteo and its story (and how all this is still working on a 4 euro/month VPS powered by #FreeBSD), you can have a look here:

KDE Plasma, looking at the already well-supported serialization format provided by DBus, decides to some weird byte serialization format instead. I wonder if this is a QT thing? Looks like some kind of custom dictionary serialization with UTF-16 strings -- [type, length, key, value-as-2-byte-int] ?
Trying to find out what component of KDE produces this... lol
omg I think this is a serialized dbus variant but ... stored as a byte array instead of as a variant.
I do like some plot, some action, not just wallpaper
Although, years ago I read an Arthur C. Clarke novel that I found mesmerizing for like 80 pages, then something finally happened and it went downhill
As I recall, it was world building with history setting the scene for the short story at the end
It might have just been right time, right mood for me to read the book
It’s just going to be wide open, unapologetic bigotry from here on out.

Every journalist hit with a stinger grenade or pepper ball by law enforcement while covering a protest is a message from the government: Stop showing the truth.
Journalists must speak out.
